After performing the bind upgrade from 8.2.2 to 8.3.1-1 new dns records do 
not take / propagate and some older dns records vanish although 
information still exists in named.conf and db.foo.com text file. However, 
after going back to pervious version of bind all reappears and will 
disappear again once the upgrade is reinstated.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.downloading RPMs for upgrading Bind for i386 (bind-8.2.3-1.i386.rpm, 
devel, and utils)
2.installing RPMs using "rpm -Fvh bind*" while logged in as root user.
3.adding / altering db.foo.com and adding any additional records ("A", MX, 
CNAME, etc.), verifying pointer from /etc/named.conf points back to 
db.foo.com file.
4.issuing reload on named process via "/etc/init.d/named reload" command
5.performing nslookup on new record and getting back "Non-existent 
host/domain" error.
	

Actual Results:  after performing above steps new named record(s) are not 
added to the dns database (for lack of better description) and fails upon 
performing an nslookup. In addition, any new domain names added fail to be 
recognized.

Expected Results:  information to propagate to internal DNS database for 
broadcast to other name (DNS) servers. in addition, one domain who's 
information was lost during the upgrade had 52 characters including 
the .com suffix.

all service patch advisories up to this release date (1-29-01) have been 
implimented on this server. rpm's upgrading bind from 8.2.2 to 8.2.3-1 
were done so using "rpm -Fvh bind*" with no other actions or tasks 
completed during installation. Upon going back to 8.2.2 from 8.2.3 all new 
records propagate and are varified via performing an nslookup.
